Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Apologies for being late but I was listening in. Ms Fitzgerald made the point that nobody wants to see CCTV, surveillance or monitoring 24-7 in a nursing home. It goes back to the culture, as she alluded to. After seeing that programme, I would not blame people for wanting that for their loved one. Trust will take time to rebuild. The culture will take time to be inculcated in any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: If there was legislative change on that, would HIQA welcome it? Should it be looked at?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I am not trying to appear dismissive of that. I am just saying a person with a loved one in their 70s, 80s or 90s does not have the time to see the big, grand change we all desire. I will move on because time is tight. It was stated earlier that there are over 10,700 beds owned by 15 private companies or corporate entities. Is that system sustainable? I know from the witnesses'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Does that 20% comprise individual infractions in different nursing homes or are they cumulative? Are there possibly five or ten infractions in one nursing home?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: That is quite significant. I assume there is a scale of severity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I assume they are not all in big trouble but that is still significant. Is the model of 10,000 beds in the hands of 15 large companies sustainable? Is it desirable?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: A lot of the discourse has been leaning that way up to now but based on what the witnesses have said, that is not necessarily reflective. There was an incident in the "RTÉ Investigates" programme where there was a lack of incontinence sheets for beds and people were encouraged to defecate in bed. In that situation, who is at fault? Is it the employees for making do? I saw they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Standards of Care, Related Practices and Oversight in Nursing Homes: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: We should have been able to share the time more equitably among ourselves.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: 16. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on health will next meet. [33563/25]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: The Mazars report stated that the HSE has not been implementing the legal timelines for the reimbursement of medicines. I can refer to at least four studies commissioned in the past year that show legal timelines are not being adhered to. In February last year, the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association published a paper showing that 86% of all reimbursements did not adhere to the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Funding (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: 130. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the total budget and allocations for elite sport athletes; his plans to enhance that amount in the lead up to the next Olympic Games; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34959/25]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Funding (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I ask the Minister about funding for elite athletes in Ireland ahead of the next Olympic cycle.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Funding (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It must be recognised initially that, as the Minister of State outlined, since the previous Olympic cycle funding has dramatically improved, which is very welcome, but he will be aware that there are probably more challenges facing our elite athletes than ever before. I speak specifically about aspects of social media and the pressures that brings. Many athletes are having to try to find...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Funding (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I do not think I need to recite them all but I will give a few examples. Paul O'Donovan, who we all know from the rowing world, is practising as a surgeon. Sophie Becker was working in a full-time job in a pharma company until recently. Phil Healy was working as a software engineer. They are all doing this while competing at the top level in their sport. The dedication those people...

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It will not come as a surprise to the Tánaiste that I am going to use this question to again raise the issue of the rare disease drug reimbursement process we have. I have lost count of the number of times I have been in here with the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach over the last five or six years since I became a TD. I can quote league tables until the cows come home showing how we...

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (26 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: The Tánaiste referenced the number of staff that the State has put in, as one example. Despite the number of staff increasing from four to 30-odd at this stage, the length of time it takes to assess a drug is actually lengthening, not shortening, despite the additional staff. That is one point of clarity. The Tánaiste also referenced the heel prick test. The decision to add...

Vote 21 - Prisons (Revised)

(24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I welcome the Minister in this evening. It beats meeting him at a parliamentary party meeting. We can speak a bit more frankly here.
